Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2020/080849, filed Mar. 24, 2020, claims the priority benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 201910261796.9, filed on Apr. 2, 2019, the full disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to transmission methods and devices in wireless communication systems, and in particular to a method and device for transmitting uplink control information in wireless communications.

Related Art

Application scenarios of future wireless communication systems are becoming increasingly diversified, and different application scenarios put forward different performance demands on systems. In order to meet different performance requirements of a variety of application scenarios, beamforming is widely used in New Radio (NR) design of Rel-15 version to improve transmission performance. In NR system of Rel-16, in order to further improve transmission performance and reduce transmission delay, a Study Item (SI) for NR-U physical layer enhancement was proposed in RAN #81 plenary. In this project, wireless transmissions on a plurality of unlicensed Bandwidth Parts (BWPs) will be studied and designed.

SUMMARY

According to latest progress of RAN1 #95 meeting on NR-U, when a plurality of unlicensed BWPs perform uplink transmissions, one possible way is to configure and activate a plurality of BWPs, and a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) is transmitted on one or the plurality of BWPs; further, transmissions of LBT based on a subband and its corresponding PUSCH are also discussed in RAN1. However, in the current NR system, when a UE transmits a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and a PUSCH simultaneously in a slot, Uplink Control Information (UCI) corresponding to the PUCCH is transmitted in time-frequency resources reserved for the PUSCH through piggybacking, the advantage of the above method is to ensure sufficient uplink transmit power without causing too high Peek-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). However, when the PUSCH is transmitted only in partial subbands passing LBT, how to transmit piggybacked UCI will be a problem.

A simple solution to the above problem is that the UCI also follows a transmission mode of the PUSCH, that is, the UCI is transmitted in subbands passing LBT, while the UCI in subbands that do not pass LBT will be dropped to be transmitted; however, this method will obviously affect the transmission performance of the UCI. The application discloses a solution to improve transmission performance of the UCI on the NR-U. It should be noted that embodiments of the first node in the present disclosure and characteristics of the embodiments can be applied to the base station if no conflict is incurred, and the embodiments of the second node in the present disclosure and characteristics of the embodiments can be applied to the terminal.

Embodiment 3

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a radio protocol architecture of a user plane and a control plane. In FIG. 3 , the radio protocol architecture for a first node and a second node is represented by three layers, which are a layer 1, a layer 2 and a layer 3, respectively. The layer 1 (L1) is the lowest layer and performs signal processing functions of various PHY layers. The L1 is called PHY 301 in the present disclosure. The layer 2 (L2) 305 is above the PHY 301, and is in charge of the link between the first node and the second node via the PHY 301. In the user plane, L2 305 comprises a Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer 302, a Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer 303 and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) sublayer 304. All the three sublayers terminate at the second node of the network side. Although not described in FIG. 3 , the first node may comprise several higher layers above the L2 layer 305, such as a network layer (e.g., IP layer) terminated at a P-GW of the network side and an application layer terminated at the other side of the connection (e.g., a peer UE, a server, etc.). The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing among variable radio bearers and logical channels. The PDCP sublayer 304 also provides a header compression for a higher-layer data packet so as to reduce a radio transmission overhead. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides security by encrypting a packet and provides support for UE handover between second nodes. The RLC sublayer 303 provides segmentation and reassembling of a higher-layer packet, retransmission of a lost packet, and reordering of a packet so as to compensate the disordered receiving caused by Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ). The MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating between first nodes various radio resources (i.e., resource block) in a cell. The MAC sublayer 302 is also in charge of HARQ operation. In the control plane, the radio protocol architecture of the first node and the second node is almost the same as the radio protocol architecture in the user plane on the PHY 301 and the L2 305, but there is no header compression for the control plane. The control plane also comprises a Radio Resource Control (RRC) sublayer 306 in the layer 3 (L3). The RRC sublayer 306 is responsible for obtaining radio resources (i.e., radio bearer) and configuring the lower layer using an RRC signaling between the second node and the first node.

In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller/processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel, and radio resources allocation for the first communication device 450 based on various priorities. The controller/processor 475 is also responsible for retransmission of a lost packet and a signaling to the first communication device 450. The transmitting processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 perform various signal processing functions used for the L1 layer (that is, PHY). The transmitting processor 416 performs coding and interleaving so as to ensure an FEC (Forward Error Correction) at the second communication device 410, and the mapping to signal clusters corresponding to each modulation scheme (i.e., BPSK, QPSK, M-PSK, M-QAM, etc.). The multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming on encoded and modulated symbols to generate one or more spatial streams. The transmitting processor 416 then maps each spatial stream into a subcarrier. The mapped symbols are multiplexed with a reference signal (i.e., pilot frequency) in time domain and/or frequency domain, and then they are assembled through Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying time-domain multi-carrier symbol streams. After that the multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 performs transmission analog precoding/beamforming on the time-domain multi-carrier symbol streams. Each transmitter 418 converts a baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 into a radio frequency (RF) stream. Each radio frequency stream is later provided to different antennas 420.

In a transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, at the second communication device 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal via a corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers information modulated to the RF carrier, converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multicarrier symbol stream to be provided to the receiving processor 456. The receiving processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 perform signal processing functions of the L1 layer. The multi-antenna receiving processor 458 performs receiving analog precoding/beamforming on a baseband multicarrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receiving processor 456 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream after receiving the analog precoding/beamforming from time domain into frequency domain using FFT. In frequency domain, a physical layer data signal and a reference signal are de-multiplexed by the receiving processor 456, wherein the reference signal is used for channel estimation, while the data signal is subjected to multi-antenna detection in the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 to recover any the first communication device-targeted spatial stream. Symbols on each spatial stream are demodulated and recovered in the receiving processor 456 to generate a soft decision. Then the receiving processor 456 decodes and de-interleaves the soft decision to recover the higher-layer data and control signal transmitted on the physical channel by the second communication node 410. Next, the higher-layer data and control signal are provided to the controller/processor 459. The controller/processor 459 performs functions of the L2 layer. The controller/processor 459 can be connected to a memory 460 that stores program code and data. The memory 460 can be called a computer readable medium. In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, the controller/processor 459 provides demultiplexing between a transport channel and a logical channel, packet reassembling, decryption, header decompression and control signal processing so as to recover a higher-layer packet from the core network. The higher-layer packet is later provided to all protocol layers above the L2 layer, or various control signals can be provided to the L3 layer for processing.

In a transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, at the second communication device 450, the data source 467 is configured to provide a higher-layer packet to the controller/processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to a transmitting function of the second communication device 410 described in the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, the controller/processor 459 performs header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel based on radio resources allocation so as to provide the L2 layer functions used for the user plane and the control plane. The controller/processor 459 is also responsible for retransmission of a lost packet, and a signaling to the second communication device 410. The transmitting processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding. The multi-antenna transmitting processor 457 implements digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, as well as beamforming. Following that, the generated spatial streams are modulated into multicarrier/single-carrier symbol streams by the transmitting processor 468, and then modulated symbol streams are subjected to analog precoding/beamforming in the multi-antenna transmitting processor 457 and provided from the transmitters 454 to each antenna 452. Each transmitter 454 first converts a baseband symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmitting processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream, and then provides the radio frequency symbol stream to the antenna 452.

In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, the function at the second communication device 410 is similar to the receiving function at the first communication device 450 described in the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives a radio frequency signal via a corresponding antenna 420, converts the received radio frequency signal into a baseband signal, and provides the baseband signal to the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 and the receiving processor 470. The receiving processor 470 and multi-antenna receiving processor 472 collectively provide functions of the L1 layer. The controller/processor 475 provides functions of the L2 layer. The controller/processor 475 can be connected with the memory 476 that stores program code and data. The memory 476 can be called a computer readable medium. In the transmission from the first communication device 450 to the second communication device 410, the controller/processor 475 provides de-multiplexing between a transport channel and a logical channel, packet reassembling, decryption, header decompression, control signal processing so as to recover a higher-layer packet from the UE 450.
